Well, I have been looking at some Christmas China for some time now, and I just had to try my chances. I know what you're thinking... "Christmas China? Really? How often are you going to use that?" ...Well the answer is every year! Even if I only get it out to use once a year, I'm so glad that I have it.
I know that when we have kids, the idea of buying China on a whim is not even worth thinking about, and B and I didn't really see any China we liked enough to register for when we got married. But when I saw this line, I could not pass them up!
When I went into Dillard's I saw the display where they had been and it had been completely picked over. I was nearly heartbroken because as I was about to grab a box of 4 dinner plates, this lady pushed me aside and grabbed them for herself. Because I wasn't about to fight her for them, I just went back and found B and decided to settle for some salad plates that might mix well with my Fiesta Ware. When I was waiting to check out, I saw a girl shopping with her mom guarding her findings. In her huge stack I noticed she had what I was looking for. I said to her, "I just love those! I really wanted them, but they're all gone.." She quickly said, "Oh No! There's more over here!" and she let me to a separate area where they had EVERYTHING!
I grabbed all of the plates, because that's all I was originally going to buy, but then I just kept thinking, I will be so annoyed one day that I didn't buy the whole set. So I went pack and got the rest, and I couldn't be happier!
Here's what a place setting looks like. The dinner plates, salad plates, and mugs alternate saying "We wish you a Merry Christmas" and "Deck the Halls" and the serving plate says "We wish you a Merry Christmas."
They are so dainty and fun and they can be mixed with anything! I can hardly wait until next year when I can get them out and use them!More to come later on our New Years Festivities!!
oh i love your christmas china!! i wish i had some - maybe i'll check out the sales next year :)
